Symptom #5: Slurred Speech
A slurred speech is another myasthenia gravis symptom. Also, the speech tends to become lower, otherwise known as hypophonia. Dysarthria or a slurred speech occurs when certain speech-regulating muscles are affected.
The weakness of the muscles of the tongue, lips, and face is responsible for slurred speech in these patients. However, there is no impairment in the fluency of speech. Furthermore, some patients report that this symptom worsens after prolonged talking.
